Soudal Fix ALL High Tack extended information
Instructions
Surfaces and materials should be clean and free of dust and grease. When used as adhesive: Apply Soudal Fix All High Tack in beads or dots onto the material which needs to be bonded, press the material firmly onto the substrate for instant grab. Final strength will be achieved 24 hours after application. When used as sealant: Apply Soudal Fix All High Tack in a regular bead and smoothen immediately with Soudal Joint Finish or a soapy solution. Application temperature: +5°C until +35°C.

Product Description
Soudal Fix ALL High Tack is a high quality, neutral, elastic, 1-component adhesive sealant based on SMX-Polymer with a very high initial tack. It is a KOMO-certified construction adhesive based on BRL3107.
Properties
- High initial tack reducing the need for initial support.
- Fast curing
- Good extrudability
- High shear strength after full cure (no primer)
- Stays elastic after curing and very durable
- Impervious to mould
- No odour.
- Can be painted with water based systems
- Good weather and UV resistance
- Does not contain isocyanates and no silicones
- Good adhesion on slightly moist substrates
Applications
- Sealing and bonding in the building and construction industry.
- Elastic bonding of panels, profiles and other pieces on the most common substrates (wood, MDF, chipboard, etc).
- Elastic structural bonding in car and container industry.
- Joints in bathrooms and kitchens.
Shelf Life
15 months in unopened packaging in a cool and dry storage place at temperatures between +5°C and +25°C.
Soudal Fix ALL High Tack Chemical Resistance
Good resistance to (salt)water, aliphatic solvents, hydrocarbons, ketones, esters, alcohols, diluted mineral acids and alkalis. Poor resistance to aromatic solvents, concentrated acids and chlorinated hydrocarbons.
Substrates
Substrates: all usual building substrates, treated wood, metals, PVC, plastics
Nature: rigid, clean, dry or slightly moist, free of dust and grease.
Surface preparation: Porous surfaces in water loaded applications should be primed with
Primer 150. Prepare non-porous surfaces with a Soudal activator or cleaner (see Technical Data Sheet).
Not suitable for PE, PP, PTFE (eg Teflon®), bituminous substrates, copper or copper-containing materials such as bronze and brass.
We recommend a preliminary adhesion and compatibility test on every surface.
Joint dimensions
Min. width for bonding: 2 mm
Min. width for joints: 5 mm
Max. width for bonding: 10 mm
Max. width for joints: 30 mm
Min. depth for joints: 5 mm
Recommendation sealing jobs: joint width = 2x joint depth.
Application method
Application method: With manual- or pneumatic caulking gun.
Cleaning: Clean with Soudal Surface Cleaner or with Soudal Swipex, immediately after use
Finishing: With a soapy solution or Soudal Finishing Solution before skinning.
Repair: With the same material.
Health- and Safety Recommendations
Take the usual labour hygiene into account.
Consult label and material safety data sheet for more information.
Dangerous. Respect the precautions for use.
Remarks
- Fix ALL High Tack may be overpainted with water based paints, however due to the large number of paints and varnishes available we strongly suggest a compatibility test before application.
- The drying time of alkyd resin based paints may increase
- Fix ALL High Tack can be applied to a wide variety of substrates. Due to the fact that specific substrates such as plastics, like polycarbonate, etc, may differ from manufacturer to manufacturer, we recommend preliminary compatibilty test.
- While producing plastics very often releasing agents, processing aids and other protective agents (like protection foil) are used. These should be removed prior to bonding. For optimum adhesion the use of Surface Activator is recommended.
- Fix ALL High Tack can not be used as a glazing sealant.
- Not suitable for bonding aquariums.
- Fix ALL High Tack can be used for bonding of natural stone, but it cannot be used as a joint sealant on this type of surface.
- When applying, make sure that the surface of the materials is not smudged with sealant.
- The sanitary formula should not replace regular cleaning of the joint. Excessive contamination, deposits or soap remains will stimulate the development of fungi.
- When using different reactive joint sealants, the first joint sealant must be completely hardened before the next one is applied.
- Fix ALL High Tack has a good UV resistance but can discolour under extreme conditions or after very long UV exposure.
- Discoloration due to chemicals, high temperatures, UV-radiation may occur. A change in color does not affect the technical properties of the product.
- Contact with bitumen, tar or other plasticizer releasing materials such as EPDM, neoprene, butyl, etc. is to be avoided since it can give rise to discolouration and loss of adhesion.
- Do not use in applications where continuous water immersion is possible.
